I like football. I like to hear their helmets smacking together. I like watching the receiver running along just barely staying in bounds. I like the collective sharp intake of breath when our quarterback gets sacked. I like football.

Tonight is the start of the regular season (Miami at Pittsburgh). Tonight is also the start of the football pool at work. A dollar a pop, most wins wins, with the score of the Monday night game as the tie breaker.

I'm horrible at the football pool. I just have the worst luck. I've tried everything: I look at the team stats one week, the Vegas odds the next week, quarterback stats the next. I've decided to adopt a new strategy.

Cutest quarterback wins.

Thank goodness the Patriots aren't playing the Giants, I wouldn't know who to pick!
